Chapter 166

Joshua suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to grab that glass of alcohol and dump it right on his younger brother's head—real brothers here. He had never seen anyone so dedicated to sabotaging their own sibling. This little bastard and that jerk Maddox must be the real reason. My people were watching, and the fact that they were live-streaming, Joshua had no choice but to hold it in. But with so many...

He took the glass, held his breath, and downed it in one gulp. This one wasn’t just disgusting; it burned on the way down. Immediately, he reached for the bottled water on the table, drinking half of it in one gulp.

Seeing both her brothers help her with the drinks, Sienna let out a silent sigh of relief. She looked at them with gratitude, her eyes sparkling. “Thank you, Joshua, Jamar?”

Jamar felt a little unsculed under her gaze. He gave her a sheepish smile. “No need to thank me. Aren’t you still going to keep Joshua company? If you end up having to drink five more later…”

His meaning was clear. If she got penalized with five drinks, she was on her own. Drinking one for her was already enough for him to feel like he had done his duty as an older brother. If she were as straightforward as Phoebe, she could’ve just outright refused to accompany Joshua. But he had a feeling that she wouldn’t refuse. She had to maintain her “sweet little sister” persona.

Sure enough, Sienna’s smile stiffened for a brief moment before she forced herself to say, “Since none of you are accompanying Joshua, I have to. I'm his sister, after all.”

Her words had a double meaning. She was implying that, unlike someone else, she still stood by her brother. Phoebe, despite being a biological sister, not only refused to stand by her brother but even set him up. And she also made it clear that she had issues with Jamar. Ever since the last live-streamed episode ended, she could feel the shift in him. He wasn’t as attentive to her as before. Worse, he seemed to be avoiding her at home. She suspected it had to do with Reece and Phoebe. He probably thought she had lied to him. However, she thought she was innocent. If he refused to believe her, then she would deliberately ignore him too. In the past, Jamar would have been the first to compromise, to coax and pamper her. Now, not only was he throwing subtle jabs at her, but he was also forcing her into a tough position. It pissed her off.

Jamar let out a laugh. “Yeah, you are such a good sister to Joshua. I support you two!”

Joshua threw an arm around Sienna’s shoulders and said dramatically, “At least my little sister is on my side!”

As he spoke, Isis’s eyes flickered toward Phoebe. He pondered why Phoebe couldn’t learn from Sienna. She was his sister, after all.

Phoebe rolled her eyes.

“Joshua, why are you looking at my wife! Phoebe has already cut ties with you all, thanks!”

“I’m disgusted by Joshua. Just hold onto your dear little “sister” and stay away from my wife.”

“Of course, I have to support you. After all, she is your beloved “sister.”

“Joshua, that natural…”

“Definitely. Even Jamar has confirmed that you two are always the closest.”

“How “close,” exactly? Well, I’ll leave that to everyone’s imagination.”

“This isn’t showing off sibling affection, this is showing off romance.”

“A hugging motion. It seems like you’ve done it plenty of times before.”

Sienna is quite funny, though. She was definitely making insinuations just now.

“Phoebe could never pull off this act. One Sienna is enough.”

“Yeah, my wife wouldn’t play along with them.”

Phoebe’s fans were speechless. These two were deliberately flaunting their sibling relationship right in front of their actual younger sister.

Thankfully, their wives, daughters, and granddaughters had already cut ties with people like that. Otherwise, they would be disgusted to death.

Bean, who was watching the livestream, immediately instructed his team to stir up the buzz. Soon after, “Joshua and Sienna showing off their love” hit the trending list, and the two were scolded online once again.

Meanwhile, Joshua, Sienna, Phoebe, and Maddox were betting on five drinks. On stage, half an hour had passed. Right on time, Quintus turned off the video and stood up, signaling to the host that he was ready. To make it easier for everyone to compare, the host first played a clip of Joshua singing the song earlier. Many viewers watching the livestream recorded the song, preparing to compare it with Quintus’s version later.

Inside the bar, the host announced the start of the performance. The lyrics were extracted using software and displayed on the big screen. This time, it was in silent mode. Quintus took his guitar and walked to the center, sitting down. The bar patrons instinctively quieted down, turning their attention to Quintus on stage.

With calm composure, Quintus began playing and singing, changing the tone from the very first line. His voice, already naturally pleasant, was even better suited for emotional songs. So, from the very first note, he effortlessly outshone Joshua. What amazed people even more was that, while Joshua had both written and sung this song, Quintus’s performance carried deeper emotions. His singing conveyed the meaning of the lyrics even better than Joshua himself. This time, Quintus made more modifications to the song than in the previous performance. Every change was like the perfect finishing touch, enhancing the song and making it more suited to his style. He gave the audience the impression that the song sounded even better after his adjustments.

Once Quintus finished singing, everyone agreed that he had elevated the song to a whole new level. This time, even without Phoebe leading the applause, the bar patrons spontaneously clapped. Hearing the enthusiastic applause fill the entire bar, Quintus’s eyes reddened slightly. He hadn’t let his boss down. He had proved himself. And he had also returned everything Joshua had once made him suffer.

The first thing Quintus did was look at Phoebe. Seeing the smile in her eyes, she even gave him a thumbs-up and said, “Well done!” A warm feeling surged through his heart again. Having an agent like this was truly a blessing. He was once again grateful that he had made the decision to switch companies. Quintus had not only proven himself to be a genius among geniuses but had also completely crushed Joshua. This made Joshua’s expression change. His eyes filled with disbelief. Tir even murmured, “How is this possible?” Though his voice was low, Phoebe still heard him. She turned to Joshua and said, “Mr. Jones, just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it’s impossible.” Iqnath, she could also learn and rearrange the song within half an hour.

Chapter 166

But she wouldn’t suggest performing it herself. She wouldn’t steal Quintus’s spotlight. This was his moment of glory, and she was happy and proud of him.

Joshua suddenly looked at Phoebe, his expression filled with confusion and hurt. She was his own sister, yet she still stabbed him in the back.

Maddox added another jab. “Joshua, Sienna, your ten drinks are here.”

Earlier, he had instructed the waiter to ask the bartender to make ten of the cheapest, largest, and most awful-tasting cocktails. Now, the bartender had just finished mixing them, and the waiter was bringing them over. Seeing the ten strangely colored drinks appear on the table, Joshua and Sienna rejected them both physically and mentally.

Jamar smirked at Joshua and said, “Joshua, Sienna is our little sister. How can she drink so much? You should help her with some of them?” That was payback; let Joshua taste his own medicine.
